Author's Notes: This continuation of the manga/anime. It is my second attempted fanfic so I would appreciate a little constructive criticism. Other than that, I hope you like it. :)
"Inuyasha...were you waiting for me?"
Inuyasha pulled Kagome out of the well with look of pure adoration-meant only for her-on his face. Kagome found her voice. "Inuyasha...were you waiting all this time?"
He didn't say anything and just stared at the face thought he might never see again. Of course, he thought.
By this time, Shippo, Miroku, and Sango had caught up to Inuyasha, who had took off towards the well without telling them that he had smelled Kagome's scent, signaling her return to the feudal world.
"Kagome...?" questioned Shippo. He could not believe his eyes! Kagome was back! He jumped into Kagome's arms and promptly burst into tears. "We thought that you were never coming b-b-back, after Inuyasha returned all alone!"
Miroku and Sango looked at Inuyasha's face, full of joy. Miroku let out a gasp. He hadn't seen Inuyasha so truly happy since...well, since Kagome had gone back to her world and hadn't had a way back.
Then, Sango began to cry and pulled Kagome away from Inuyasha (he began to growl, but then stopped himself) and pulled her into a hug.
Kagome squeezed her back, allowing tears of happiness to flow down her face as well.
"How did you come back Kagome?" Miroku asked, once the two girls' sobs had subsided.
To his surprise, Kagome blushed a bright, vivid red.
"Well," she answered, "we, my mom and I...," her voice cracked with emotion and her eyes brimmed with tears again. Miroku opened his mouth to offer her some comfort, but Kagome nodded her head.
She looked straight at Inuyasha.
"I-I was thinking of how much I wanted to be with you," she cried out.
Inuyasha looked pained. He was hurt that the thought of him had caused her so much grief. He wanted to comfort her and stop her from hurting.
So he hugged her and let her cry into his shoulder.
Kagome breathed in his scent deeply, as if it were an addicting drug. She had missed this scent, the smell of Inuyasha, so much.
INUYASHA INUYASHA INUYASHA INUYASHA INUYASHA INUYASHA INUYASHA INUYASHA INUYASHA
At this point, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo looked away and, with a few backward glances (but not before Shippo had a fit about why did Inuyasha get to hog all of Kagome's attention) left them alone.
"Let's let them have some alone time," Miroku told Shippo gently, leading him away from the two with Sango by his side.
"Yes, Inuyasha has been so lonely this whole time," said Sango, while intertwining her hand with her husband's.
Shippo did not feel so forgiving. "He still felt the urge to pick on me," he complained all the way back to Kaede's. When they arrived at the hut, he went off to go play with the Sango and Miroku's eldest child.
"Well...Inuyasha will bring Kagome back to the village when they are finished talking," said Sango," and then she'll talk to you too, Shippo."
Miroku noticed that Sango looked different now. Almost as though Kagome had filled a gap in her life by coming back, he mused. He realized later that Kagome filled a gap for all of them.
"Oh, Sango...Kagome's really back!"
Sango smiled, but exclaimed sarcastically "Where have you been?"
Then she began laughing and Miroku laughed, too. It was such a great day.
A new thought occurred to Sango.
"Hey, Miroku, she doesn't even know we have children." She chuckled. "How do you think she will react?"
"Kagome has her own unique way of viewing matters...are you worried, my dear?"
"No ... of course not"
"Well, they should be back in a little while, so we will know soon."

-Meanwhile...-
When Inuyasha finally let Kagome go and looked around, he noticed that Miroku, Sango, and Shippo were gone.
Well, he thought, that will make this slightly less awkward.
"Kagome, I have to tell you something."
She noticed his voice had sounded somewhat nervous and looked into his eyes curiously. His golden eyes...the eyes of a hanyou. "What is it?"
"I-I...err...missed you. A lot." He could have slapped himself, he sounded uncharacteristically uneasy.
Kagome smiled. "I missed you, too."
They stood there for a while, holding on to each other by the well that had begun everything.
It's enough, Kagome thought to herself. She sighed contentedly and Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her more tightly.
Eventually her thoughts came to the ones she had left behind in the modern world.
Mama, Souta, Grandpa...she even missed Bayo. She shook her mind away from the depressing thoughts. Why should she be sad now? She told herself. I'm with Inuyasha again.
Inuyasha nudged her, snapping her out of her thoughts. "I think it's time we should go back, Kagome."
She looked around. They blue sky was beginning to turn the orange pink color that comes with dawn and the end of another day. Night was beginning to settle in.
She glanced at the well one last time and then took Inuyasha's hand. It was time to go back into the village.
Author's Notes: Okay, well that is it for the first chapter. Next chapter should be up soon. :D
